My son brought home a paper today that requested that he bring in enough green M&Ms to share with his entire class of 25 children on Monday for St. Patricks Day. ONLY green, as well as another treat that is ONLY green.

Are they expecting me to buy bags upon bags of M&Ms and pick out just the green ones? "ONLY" was capitalized and underlined.

Also... any suggestions on green treats to send other than finger jello?

I knew Paddy's day was good for something

That's ridiculous! Imagine some parents that have done that... dirty ass hands picking out green M&Ms... nasty.

Sugar cookies with green food coloring?

Absinthe

Some of the things the schools make us parents do are unbelievable! Anyway... the only thing I can think of is apple jolly ranchers cuase you can buy a bag of just apple. If I think of anymore ideas I will letcha know!

Sugar cookies and the Jolly Ranchers are a good idea!

Absinthe... well, I'm sure the teachers might like to give a little to the kiddies at one point or another..

But it sounds like I still have to pick out the green M&Ms... I can't believe that they're serious about this.

damn I am glad I do not have kids...and have to do this pointless shit.

I think jolly ranchers are a good idea...its better then picking out green M&M's

Green sucks ass... go pick some fucking grass and have him take it to those bunch of picky fucking rabbits!!!

"Dear Parents,

We will be having a green day on Monday, March 17th, 2003. We are asking if each child could please bring in something green ONLY other than the treat listed below that was selected for your child. Treats such as gummy worms, grapes or jell-o. Kid friendly snacks only please because the children will be eating this. BUT remember the snacks should ONLY be green.

Colin: Green M&Ms ONLY GREEN"

Ahh... but I still have to send along the green M&Ms... and another GREEN ONLY treat.

They really can't be serious in expecting me to buy bags of them and pick out enough green ones to share with the class. That is absurd.

AzureStar said:

Fuck 'em... buy 'em a pack of Tuck's Medicated asshole pads... those have a green label, don't they? Hell, I don't know if they do or not, but that note has my temper flaring up like a pack of hemmorhoids!

AzureStar said:

Not to menchion asinine and recockulous...what you do is buy the M&M and send them to school with a note on them that says you must pick out the green ones cause unlike you I do not have the time to sit and pointlessly count out 25 M&Ms that are only green.

IceNine said:

Isn't that ridiculous? I really can't believe it.

AzureStar said:

Here is my theory...

Fuck them.

I was thinking of doing that, but I don't want my son to be embarrassed about it, you know? But that thought had crossed my mind more than once.

I just asked him what other kids were bringing and he told me certain kids were bringing green kool-aid and green cookies, so now it's like I HAVE to do it since the other kids must know what he is supposed to bring.


how did I miss the "g" in "bringing" twice?!

I would look for a candy store that sells bulk candies... They sell green only M & M's as well as other green-colored candies and favors.

What kind of goofy teacher would make such a demand? They must think you have lots of time on your hands.

Do they sell holiday bags of only green M&Ms? I know you can buy other holiday colors of them, like for Christmas or Easter or 4th of July. Maybe they sell bags of only green around St. Patricks' Day?

Send him to school with something that is green... along with a note to the teacher in a sealed envelope... the note should say the following:

"Dear Mrs. *insert teacher's name*,

Fuck you for giving me the goddamned M&M assignment and trying to make my kid look like some kind of fucking deadbeat for not bringing them... you will take these fucking cookies and like it or I will come down there, pull your head out of your ass and shove it up the ass of the nearest available vice-principal, you fucking half-witted reject from a retarded village idiots colony.

Respectfully yours,
Heather"

I am not sure... I haven't looked, but I will tomorrow when I go to get the damned things. I hope so, because I am not too interested in sitting around sorting through them to feed 25 children.

I will also check out the bulk stores as well... I didn't think of doing that and didn't know they even sold them by color.

IceNine said:

You don't know how tempted I am to send that note right there.

You know the problems that I've had with that woman... her and her spelling errors in the weekly flyer she sends home. That still pisses me off and I even spoke to her about it finally. But... that is another story entirely.

Get some food dye AzureStar and dye them all green..


I cant help you as I only have one red M&M and that replaced my clitoris when it was amputated by the evil nuns at my Convent school...

Hey, why not go down to the local cemetery and dig up the corpse of some close relative of your son's teacher. It will be green AND it will teach the teacher not to make such fucking ridiculous requests.

AzureStar said:

Did she write that note requesting the green M&Ms? I didn't know if it's just me because I'm so sleep deprived at the moment, or if that note is actually written really badly. To me it seems poorly written.

I'm amazed at some of the people who make it through college and become teachers. I knew someone who was an education major in college and her dream was to be a grade school teacher, which she did eventually become. That girl could NOT SPELL and had terrible grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure. To this day I still don't understand how she was able to become a teacher.

AzureStar said:

Send it!

I write effective letters... use it.

AmethystAngelMN said:

Yes, his teacher wrote it and it is written poorly. I do not know how this woman was able to get a job teaching children, based on certain things.

Each week, his teacher sends home a newsletter type thing and each week there are foolish spelling errors on it and it is poorly written. At first I thought maybe they were typos, until it happened each and every week and with the same words usually. And, I am not blowing this out of proportion... I've showed Tony one of the newsletters and it had 18 spelling errors and that was not counting everything else that was wrong with it. Simple words even. And, here she is teaching children how to spell when she can't spell herself.

I let it slide the first parent teacher conference, but this last one, two weeks ago, I brought it up because on his word list to use in a sentence for Valentine's Day she had the following for them to practice:

"Your the best, Mom."

GRRR...

So, I voiced my concerns with her teaching my son how to spell and to use proper grammar, when she wasn't able to do it herself. Maybe that's the reason for the green M&Ms.

IceNine said:

I don't have the balls enough to send that one... but I will pick the green M&Ms out of the bags and put them in festive little baggies to send to school with him, so that he isn't embarrassed and feeling bad. I will, however, write a note to send along with those green ONLY M&Ms and will post it here when I finish it.
